Product Overview

The PM8015 SRCv 24x6G is a PCIe Gen 3 to 24-port, 6 Gb/s SAS RAID-on-Chip (RoC) controller designed for enterprise servers and RBODs. The SRCv 24x6G supports the SAS 2.1 specification. Building on the ground-breaking advancements of the maxSAS SRC family, the SRCv 24x6G offers performance improvements with an extremely efficient and scalable architecture, eliminating system performance limitations of traditional RoC devices. In addition to the highly optimized architecture, the SRCv 24x6G provides an easy-to-port application-programming environment for rapid time-to-market.
